DESPATCH / SHIN'EN2 #5 FWD from DK3WN Blog: > SHIN'EN2 received by PE1ITR on 4 Dec 2014, 21:00UTC - 00:00 UTC > Signals 5 ~6 db above noise. Signal very weak now. Slow QSB > 73 Rob PE1ITR
First screenshot spacecraft 700,000km from earth
Second screenshot spacecraft 750,000km from earth
You see the qsb on the spacecraft. Around every 2 minutes a short signal. Doppler 20Hz in 15 minutes - Distance 750,000km DESPATCH / SHIN'EN2 #6 Finally there was a report that exceeded one million km. I, JE9PEL forward from DESPATCH ground station web, The reporting source is Polish Ham Group. The antenna is 4.5m mesh dish. DESPATCH: 1,104,000Km SHIN'EN2: 1,096,000Km
